subject: Buying Affordable And Stylish Restaurant Uniforms [print this page] If you are a restaurant owner and you are looking for restaurant uniforms that project to the public an image of cleanliness, style and professionalism, you need to dress your staff in smart apparel. Unfortunately many people underestimate the importance of the clothing and accessories that their staff wears, but with the right apparel your customers will not only enjoy their service more, they will also be impressed with the entire look of your place and they will appreciate seeing your staff clean and well dressed. Not only that, but having the right restaurant uniforms is also a matter of hygiene and safety, too.
Another common misconception is that if a staff member does not integrate and work with the public they do not need good uniforms. How unfortunate for the dish washing guy who sweats every night cleaning those hundreds of dishes each night! In this case he is just as important as your top waiters and waitresses are. He needs to be just as comfortable as they are. The key to successful shopping for apparel is comfort. When employees are comfortable, they work better, plain and simple. A kitchen uniform usually consists of a hat, shirt, maybe a jacket, pants, shoes and probably an apron. You can find all of these items on the best websites on the Internet for really reasonable prices. Make absolutely sure that all of your employees wear slip resistant shoes, or you are going to have to end up paying workmans compensation when those employees slip and fall on wet or oily kitchen floors.
If you want to make sure that the restaurant uniforms that you choose are as comfortable as possible, you probably will want to get those that are made of Egyptian cotton, a poly/cotton blend or twill cotton. These are the most popular fabrics, and for a nice sense of individuality many suppliers will be willing to embroider the name or logo of your restaurant or even the employees name onto it. You can often find a supplier that will do this for free with a certain minimum order amount, so check out your options.
Make sure that you consider the colors of your restaurant uniforms carefully, because you want to make sure that the colors will complement the entire look of your place. Be careful with white, but if you do choose white for your restaurant uniforms, make sure that you get objects that are stain resistant to help you out with keeping them from getting stained and ruined.
